Canned food, fruits, bacon...the soldiers brought over ready-made food from the Japanese camp.
They rushed towards the food like hungry tigers seeing sheep, and started gobbling it up without saying a word.
"Hey, these people's eyes are hungry. They haven't had a full meal in a long time." Bu La shook his head and couldn't bear to look directly.
These people have expressionless faces, and their eyes are numb and empty. They are like soulless bodies that can only exercise some instinctive reactions.
It wasn't until the soldiers repeated over and over again that we are the expeditionary force and you are saved that the eyes of these people slowly regained some brilliance.
A few skinny soldiers with unshaven beards even hugged each other and cried bitterly, as if they were venting the emotions that had been pent up in their hearts for a long time.
The soldiers of the Third Division silently stared at the beggar-like compatriots in front of them, feeling slightly sad in their hearts.
They all have the same identity as him, but they are suffering here, and are tortured by the little devils to the point of being transformed into human beings. The sadness in this is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"The seat is here!"
When everyone turned around, they saw Liao Mingyu and his men striding towards this place.
"There are so many people? Damn it!" Seeing the tragic situation here, Liao Mingyu was so angry that he couldn't help shouting loudly.
There are hundreds of prisoners of war gathered in this small concentration camp. The dark life makes them unable to see a glimmer of hope, so that most of them are now in a state of confusion.
"Long Wenzhang, count the number of people, call the medical company to come over and check their bodies one by one, and then take them down to rest and rest."
Liao Mingyu immediately issued an order. No matter what identity these people were, he would not let them go.
"clear!"
Just as Long Wenwen was about to arrange things, a young man in his twenties suddenly walked out of the crowd.
"Gentlemen, on behalf of my soldiers, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
The young man stood up straight and saluted Liao Mingyu and the others in a standard manner. Although his face was pale, his eyes were very bright. A lieutenant colonel's collar badge was vaguely visible on his worn collar.
This young officer was obviously different from the others who were confused. He was polite in his conversation, neither arrogant nor humble. It was obvious that he should have some status in the original army.
"Are you their commander? Tell me about the specific situation here." Liao Mingyu returned the salute and asked curiously.
"Yes! Sir. My name is Yuan Li, former lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the 1152nd Regiment of the 200th Division. Most of the people here are soldiers of the 200th Division, as well as some local people..."
Young officer Yuan Li slowly told Liao Mingyu their experiences.
It turns out that this concentration camp was basically occupied by soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who were defeated and captured during the first battle in Myanmar.
Yuan Li's unit is the country's first mechanized unit, China's famous 200th Division.
As the main force of the expeditionary force, the 200th Division was one of the first batch of Chinese troops to enter Myanmar in March 1942.
They became famous in the Battle of Tonggu. Even though they were heavily surrounded by the enemy and there were no reinforcements, they still resisted desperately. In the end, they annihilated more than 5,000 enemies, showing the majesty of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
General Dai even announced before the war: "If the division commander dies in battle, he will be replaced by his deputy division commander; if the deputy division commander dies in battle, he will be replaced by the chief of staff; if the chief of staff dies in battle, he will be replaced by the infantry commander, and this will be done at all levels."
However, due to the failure of the British Army on the Western Front to actively cooperate and the delays on the British side, the follow-up troops of the expeditionary force were unable to be transported to the Donggu front line as planned.
Although the results were brilliant, the 200 Division also paid a huge price. The entire division fought hard for 12 days and suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Coupled with the lack of food and ammunition internally and no external reinforcements, facing an enemy four times their own strength after reinforcements, they were trapped in an isolated city. The situation was critical and they had to choose to break out.
Later, according to Shangfeng's instructions, they moved to Taunggyi, Lirong and other places to cover the retreat of the 5th Army and the 6th Army into the country. Finally, when crossing the Foreigner Mountain, they were ambushed by the Japanese 56th Division, and the troops were subsequently beaten. General Dai was seriously injured and died of his injuries. The entire 200 Division withdrew less than 3,000 people into the country.
Due to continuous fighting and retreat, 9 of the 18 Soviet-made T26 light tanks of the 9th Tank Battalion of the 1152nd Regiment, where Yuan Li belonged, were damaged, and the rest had no choice but to be discarded.
But when they reached the border town of Wanding, they were intercepted by the Japanese army. Yuan Li immediately led his troops to stop the enemy, but was outnumbered and surrounded by Japanese troops. In the end, he himself was wounded and captured.
In the end, only 40,000 of the 100,000-strong expeditionary force that went to Burma for the first time returned home safely. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in foreign lands, and countless soldiers were captured by the enemy. When counting behind the scenes, they could only be counted as Missing, Yuan Li and his group are one of them.
Later, the Japanese army occupied a large area of land west of the Nu River, and thousands of prisoners of war were escorted in batches to Burma or Malaysia.
If it were just an ordinary prisoner of war camp, that would be fine, but do we need to talk more about the virtues of the Japanese?
The reason why the little devil didn't kill them was just to keep them for great use. The Gangzi 9420 unit headquartered in Singapore needs a large number of living test subjects to study new biological and chemical weapons, and these prisoners of war are the best candidates.
Because Longling also had a biochemical research institute set up by the Gangzi 9420 unit, more than 2,000 prisoners of war, including Yuan Li, were also escorted here.
The military camp that Long Wenwen and the others discovered was the Japanese military laboratory. In addition to prisoners of war and Japanese soldiers, many local people were also captured and subjected to inhumane bacterial experiments.
These unscrupulous beasts conducted experiments on plague, typhoid, anthrax, tuberculosis, syphilis, etc. on living bodies in order to develop more efficient biochemical weapons.
The concentration camp originally held thousands of Chinese people, but now only a few hundred people have survived. The others were all brutally tortured and killed by the Japs in various biochemical experiments.
Liao Mingyu sighed softly, and felt somewhat sympathetic to Yuan Li's experiences. In fact, when he led the Sichuan Army, he was just like these people, struggling desperately in the torrent of collapse, just to get home.
If it weren't for the system and his own foresight, he would probably have become a pile of dead bones in the primitive jungle and be buried in a foreign country forever.
"You little Japan, I'm going to kill those prisoners alive now!!"
"You bastard, count me in!"
Yao Ma and Bu La, who were both upright and upright, went crazy on the spot when they heard this, saying that they wanted to vent their anger to the captured little devils.
Liao Mingyu curled his lips. Now that he thought about it, it would be a bit cheap to just behead him. Those little devils should be allowed to taste what true cruelty is.
"Those beasts have been chopped up by Chen Jize a long time ago. You can see them when you go to the west highway now."
"ah?"
